Something interesting happens when the trumpeting, triumphant letter T comes into close contact with the letter of love, life, laughter and learning. The TL combination evokes the extraordinary sense of creative energy responsible for the words: vital, style, artful, astral, gentle, subtle, tactile, and talent. So it’s not surprising that most TL personalities are noted for their gift of decisiveness, their air of relaxed flexibility, and their talent for pulling off even the most outrageous dreams.
Rather than attempting to overtly control events and people (as many strong personalities are wont to do), TLs seem content to let things unfold naturally -- only steering events when things get too out of kilter. This particular method of benign manipulation requires a sharp brain and an acute understanding of human nature; a combination that makes them ideal for careers in management, medicine, and psychology. And even when faced with failure the confident TLs aren’t likely to panic; they will resolve these situations in typically methodical fashion. In the light of such poise, it would be logical to expect there to be a TL on the top of every corporate pile. But this is almost never the case: these individuals value the health of their relationships far above personal gain, and measure their life-success by the accumulated love given to them by their friends and families.
Like most people whose names begin with a T, TLs are physically active and are drawn to sports that emphasize teamwork and cooperation. If they have killer instincts, they only manifest themselves in game-play where no one is likely to get hurt. When there are problems, they’re going to materialize when the TL’s personal life gets thrown out of balance. In the face of romantic turmoil, TLs tend to lose their sense of direction. Instead of throwing themselves into their work, TLs tend to wallow in the mud of their depleted emotional reservoirs. And if this seems to happen a little too often, it’s because TLs aim so high in everything they do and often find themselves in relationships that are way out of their leagues.
Dating and mating with TLs requires sensitive personalities who can match their subtle dictates with patience and tolerance. If they’re not careful, TLs and their mates can fall into codependent unions, which end up draining the relationships’ energy. But when things are clicking, TLs are fortified by the communal spirit that large families provide and place a high premium on togetherness and quality time. Their strong parental instincts explain why TLs tend to ply their children with so much babying well beyond the time they should have left the nest.
